About the home

A stylish and comfortable terraced property, with air conditioning, set in a small, countryside condominium called Vale da Ribeira ('VDR'). VDR sits in approximately 75 acres of farmland between hills and valleys so the view from the terrace across open countryside and down to the Alvor Estuary is simply stunning. The house is privately owned by a family who take pride in offering a home from home experience to guests with luxury furnishings and fully fitted kitchen and bathroom facilities. Set into the side of a little hill the property's front door is at first floor level leading to a large sitting room, kitchen, utility room and cloakroom with loo and sink. Accessed from the sitting room through glass doors are two roof terraces with dining furniture and fabulous views. Downstairs are two bedrooms, both with en suites and French doors out to small private patios which, in turn, lead out onto the communal gardens. All windows and external doors have lockable shutters. Parking to the front of the property is off street and at first floor (entrance) level. Free WIFI is available to all guests staying in the property. An extra put up bed is available to hire.

Within a short minute's stroll is a large communal pool. A little waterfall runs down into a children's paddling pool area making VDR perfect for families. At the highest point of the village is a pergola with seating - a perfect place to relax and soak up the views of the surrounding countryside. Extensive, landscaped gardens offer plenty of space to relax and many guests comment on how easy it is to slip into their holiday in such peaceful surroundings.

The Algarve / West Algarve region

As you travel across the Western Algarve, you will pass through an area of unchanged traditions, brought together with the latest modern conveniences and exciting holiday attractions. Welcoming its guests with the Mediterranean climate, the Western Algarve reveals a great variety of flora and fauna. The region is rich in biodiversity and ecosystems making it of a great ecological interest. The best way to discover the aromas and flavours of the Western Algarve is to stroll through the narrow streets and alleys found away from the coast. Here you will find a myriad of local restaurants and bars indulging into the dainties of traditional cuisine. The range of choices includes famous regional delicacies such as figs, almonds, carobs and a very special brandy. Only a step away from the restful inland area is the excitement of the Western Algarve night-life and the most beautiful beaches in Europe. During the daytime you can enjoy fanciful shadows of the rocky coastline casted on the sand and as soon as the night comes revel in the merrymaking of bars, discos, marinas and casinos. The region's built heritage reveals particular memories of the ancestors of the Western Algarve, making it a special cultural place to visit. If you are looking for an active holiday time, the Western Algarve offers a range of outdoor sports from golfing on the green courses to physical exercise at the region's excellent facilities.

The Lagos / Odiaxere area

Magnified with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, Vale da Ribeira is a very beautiful and peaceful village. Completed in 2007 it has been a huge success with holidaymakers, many of whom return year on year. While the village is conveniently located near the EN125 road, properties are set well back on elevated grounds, allowing residents and guests to enjoy peace and quiet among olive, orange and almond trees as well as other local flora. This is a year round destination - winter sun, excellent walking and bird watching, spring flowers in abundance, summer beaches and warm sunshine. The fantastically beautiful coastline and glorious hills inland are all within easy driving distance. The beaches in the Western Algarve are among the most beautiful and least crowded in Europe. There are lots of sheltered coves along the South Coast and Vale da Ribeira is very close to the famous Meia Praia beach which is the longest in the area stretching from Lagos up to the Alvor Estuary. Most beaches are easy to park at, some (for example Luz and Burgau) tend to be a little more popular and only a short walk is involved. Nearly all have some form of beach bar or restaurant. Get the map out and explore - there is so much to see and sometimes you might come across a beach that you share with only a few people. Golfers are ideally placed as some of the best courses in the Algarve are within a short drive including Penina, Palmares, Boa Vista and Parque do Floresta. Within 10 minutes is Algarve's famous Motorpark (Autodromo International Algarve) near Portimao with its racing school, driving experiences, events and activities.

Faro Airport is about 45 minutes and Odiaxere, the nearest village, is 4kms (just under 5 minutes in the car). The village is at the end of a long drive which leads only to Vale da Ribeira so is perfect if you’re looking for a nice peaceful, relaxing holiday off the beaten track. N.B. There is now a toll charge applicable for those using the A22 but you don't pass through any toll booths. Please check the details of how to pay the charges with your car hire company as it is unlikely that you can pay online and most car rental companies offer a good solution. Lisbon airport is a 2.5 hour drive and nearly all motorway driving so a good alternative. It is a good idea to have some Euros with you as there are toll roads along the way and you'll be able to pass through these quickly if you have change rather than notes. Seville Airport is another alternative and you must check with your car hire company that you are able to drive into Portugal. Airlines such as TAP Portugal, Monarch, EasyJet and BA all fly into both airports and it's a good idea to shop around as there is nearly always a good deal to be found. There are a lot of car hire companies in Portugal and sometimes your airline will offer you a discount if you use their partner company. A local Lagos company that we have used for many years have always been very reliable and the car will be waiting at Faro Airport. They will offer anyone booking through Peartree an all-inclusive, discounted, deal - this includes unlimited drivers, children's seats and zero-excess. They can offer a transfer service from Faro Airport to the property (and back). Given the position of Vale da Ribeira I would recommend a car for local journeys so if you've had a transfer from the airport they can also arrange to drop off a car to you at the villa.
